Since Josh and I like to use the blog as basically a journal with photos to keep track of our lives, I will now attempt to chronicle what has gone on in this past busy month in my next few posts.
Saturday, Septmeber 17, was the first day of our dog sitting fiasco. Word to the wise: don't ever think that you can take on two dogs in a tiny one bedroom apartment. Maybe to some people that is common sense, but Josh and I thought it would be a cake walk. We had been doing so good with Zino! Josh has a friend from work who, like us, is married and lives in southern California with no family down here. They also have a dog and love to travel. They usually put their dog in an expensive kennel but Josh and I had a great idea, we would offer to watch their dog and then we could watch eachothers' dogs whenever we traveled.
Everything went well over the weekend, aside from a couple accidents, and we were quite pleased with ourselves. Then came Monday when we had to go to work. Josh goes home for lunch to find we have a complaint on the door and apparently the dogs were having a hay day barking together non-stop! Oh-boy. Josh tried separating them but when he got home that night we had ANOTHER complaint! We were stressing! You can even get fined for dog barking :/
Thankfully Josh's friend, Shannon, happened to be home on maternity leave and had a nice backyard where she watched the other dog for us the next couple days.That saved us from getting evicted! Oh and did I add that Josh got a speeding ticket while taking the other dog to Shannon's one morning? Ya, it was hell. And we still had the dog til the upcoming Sunday, so we had to constantly be home since they had proved they couldn't be alone together, grrrr. Moral of the story? We will not be able to be dog-sitting buddies until we have a house and a yard. We really need to get on that one.
Here are a couple pics from the nicer moments:
